How to travel to Koh Samui?

Bian Xiao said that some people may not know about Koh Samui, but Bian Xiao said that more people may know about Thailand. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you some traffic strategies about Koh Samui, Bangkok, Thailand, which should be helpful to you.

There are sudden trains, double cars and taxis on the traffic island of Koh Samui. Usually, many people carpool and need to bargain. Personally, I think renting a car, motorcycle and car is the most convenient, otherwise my leg will be broken.

A motorcycle is rented for almost one day 150B, and you need a passport (if the shopping during the period involves tax refund, you also need a passport), and a car is rented for about 500B-700B a day. When renting, they will let you check the scratches on the car and then sign it. Be sure to take pictures carefully with the camera, otherwise it will be unclear. If you refuel, it is usually 9 1#, 95#. A 100B motorcycle can run for several days at a time, which is very economical. There are also many gas stations on the island, so Google Maps can navigate the gas stations.

Tips for riding a motorcycle

1. It is worth noting that the local traffic direction is opposite to ours, so whether you are going around the island, crossing the intersection or overtaking, you should pay attention to the direction and obey the traffic rules.

2. Wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle, and don't show it, because the local people drive very fast, and the urban police may check the helmet, and they will be fined if they don't wear it. But just put the helmet in the car when not in use, and this thing won't be lost in the local area.

You'd better confirm the business hours of the car shop before returning the car, or you'll have to wait, because local people go to work late, so if it's an early flight, it's recommended to return the car the night before.

Traffic guide from the airport to the city Because taxis in Koh Samui are quite expensive, it is about 500 b( 100 RMB) from the airport to Chawan Beach. So many people choose two cars or minibuses, one person 150-200B(40 RMB). If you rent a minibus (you can ask the hotel front desk to help arrange it), it will be cheaper to go from the pier to Pop Beach 1000 b(200 RMB), which is closer to Chawen Beach.

In addition to the above methods, chartered bus is the most convenient and cost-effective: 1. There is no need to queue at the airport, and the VIP car will wait for you to land at the airport exit; 2. Avoid the trouble of bargaining with the double-car driver; 3. You don't have to carry your luggage around to find a car; It is more cost-effective to pay 50 RMB for one person. So I recommend booking the point-to-point shuttle service from the airport to the hotel online before departure, which is the most worry-free and cost-effective.

The transportation from Koh Samui to outlying islands is 1. First of all, book a shuttle bus and pick it up from the pier to the hotel point to point, which saves worry and effort.

2. Koh Samui (Nathonpier) and Koh Samui (Maenampier) are two docks. The specific terminal depends on which shipping company you choose, one is L and the other is S. Both shipping companies can surf the Internet on their own websites before departure.

Although there is no developed public transportation, Koh Samui is small, and it takes only half a day to drive along expressway. There are taxis and Tu Tu cars carrying passengers in the street, but taxis don't use the meter. The hotel can also help arrange taxis. If it is a one-day tour, it basically includes transportation.

Do I need a driver's license to rent a motorcycle

A: Yes. Not checking is one thing. Even in China, driving a motorcycle legally requires a driver's license.

But the local driving direction is just the opposite to ours, and they are all narrow streets and mountain roads. It is not recommended to rent a car yourself. You must wear a helmet when driving a motorcycle.
